This doesn't look like a bad card, but a bit weak for a legendary. Getting two synergistic cards for one card is nice, but not incredible, I guess whether or not this sees play depends on how good the eclipses are.
i agree with what your saying but how would this be run in a druid dec
Will three wins in Ranked still be rewarded by 10 gold? I've been playing 80% Duels the last few weeks, and it bothers me that I don't get that 3-win bump from that game mode. I understand not having it for Heroic/Arena because of the rewards structure, but it would give more people an incentive to play casual if it gave you something. And maybe it does? I really have no idea how this new experience-based quest system works. Any insight on the details of these new quest mechanics is appreciated.
I'm pretty sure that because it's just cosmetics it's only cash. Similar to you, I'll never pay for it. I'm comfortable with that. A lot of other people like cosmetics and this feels like the first time they're being serious about releasing regular cosmetic content on a regular basis. If that helps fund the game and keep new game modes like Duels being produced, I'm happy. I'm most curious about unlocking additional hero powers and treasures in duels and if that will be paywalled in any way.
I can see memes, but other than that too expensive... if you can play this safely you already won anyway even without it. I suppose in Arena you might want it (even if not corrupted)
20 bucks for the new tavern pass? Yeah, I'll pass thank you very much. Considering that we're staring at mid expansions from now on, is 20 bucks really a justifiable price for something that gives you no other competitive advantage but 10% extra xp? I'll let the many resident mathematicians in Hearthstone to do the math, but for now, absolutely not.
Looking forward to the new system. I guess we still have 1 extra day to do the quests before the revamp
Since the XP boost translates directly into gold, it would make no sense for them to let you use gold to pay for it. I suppose they could charge more gold than you could ever hope to recoup via the bonus, but at that point, no one would ever buy it anyway.

Dancing Cobra
Well In arena poisonous matters a lot, so I can see it in arena, but in constructed yeah you have better way to get removal

New Neutral Minion - Rock Rager
Time to make Rager Pala deck :D
New Hunter Spell - Petting Zoo
really good for hunter
New Rogue Spell - Malevolent Strike
already a better assasinate
New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra

New Neutral Minion - Carnival Clown
Yeah, I don't think this will work out. It's really slow and the payoff isn't strong enough to justify the slow speed.
New Hunter Weapon - Rinling's Rifle
Petting Zoo synergy
New Neutral Minion - Rock Rager
If it dies to a ping and costs more than 1 mana it is just not good enough...
New Mage Minion - Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon
secret and control mage's are gonna love this card

New Neutral Minion - Rock Rager
Now this is just the biggest insult to Magma Rager yet, costing 2 mana and having Taunt. And on a bad statline for Taunting as well.
Although that said, it's still probably bad.
New Druid Spell - Guess the Weight
gotta love the gamble on this card
New Mage Spell - Deck of Lunacy
why
Carnival Clown
I can see memes, but other than that too expensive... if you can play this safely you already won anyway even without it.
New Rogue Spell - Shadow Clone
finally got that rouge secret
New Warlock Minion - Man'ari Mosher
3 mana 3/4s with good Battlecries usually see play, and the Battlecry on this one is pretty good, so it'll probably see some play somewhere.
New Neutral Minion - Rock Rager
Don't be surprised when you see this in elemental decks
New Neutral Minion - Carnival Clown
I can see memes, but other than that too expensive... if you can play this safely you already won anyway even without it. I suppose in Arena you might want it (even if not corrupted)
New Hunter Minion - Dancing Cobra
1/5, I don't see this anywhere, it will even be a weird pick in arena
New Neutral Minion - Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate
Yogg my boi welcome back
New Warrior Spell - Feat of Strength
Doesn't seem like it will be good. Stolen Goods didn't work out, and this doesn't really seem any better.

Solar Eclipse+ this = Wombo Combo
